The prognostic value of comorbidity for the severity of COVID-19: A systematic review and meta-analysis study

Mobina Fathi et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 patients and found that underlying diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and chronic kidney disease may be risk factors for COVID-19 infection. Furthermore, the results suggest that elderly males with underlying diseases are more likely to have severe COVID-19.

Frailty as a predictor of mortality among patients with COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Xiao-Ming Zhang et al.

Summary: This meta-analysis study found that frailty is an independent predictor of mortality among COVID-19 patients. Patients with frailty who are infected with COVID-19 have almost twice the risk of mortality compared to those without frailty.

Association of clinical factors and recent anticancer therapy with COVID-19 severity among patients with cancer: a report from the COVID-19 and Cancer Consortium

P. Grivas et al.

Summary: This study analyzed clinical factors and laboratory measurements of cancer patients with COVID-19, finding that factors such as age, sex, comorbidities, cancer type, and laboratory results were associated with COVID-19 severity. Patients diagnosed early in the pandemic had worse outcomes, and specific anticancer therapies may increase 30-day all-cause mortality. More research is needed to confirm these findings and caution may be needed in using certain anticancer treatments.

Divergent: Age, Frailty, and Atypical Presentations of COVID-19 in Hospitalized Patients

Paula Cristina Eiras Poco et al.

Summary: The study shows that hospitalized older and frail patients with COVID-19 often present with atypical symptoms, such as functional decline, acute mental changes, and hypotension. Healthcare providers should be aware of these nonspecific disease manifestations during the management and follow-up of this population.
